June 3rd, 2019 By Othello

10 HIM’s (including 2 FNG’s) came out to enjoy a little Mint Hill fellowship this gloom.  One of the FNG’s (Steve D. aka Nimbus) used to post here a few years ago and went by the name of “Bolt” but he fell off the wagon and is now back with a vengence!  He felt he should be re-named due to his time off and he saw that there was another Meca Pax with the same/similar name.  We indulged him at the COT. The other FNG (Crabs aka Gray D originally from Maryland) was EH’d by Nimbus.

YHC had the Q and you know what I say, nothing better than a “shoulder and chest smoke-fest to start off your week!”  So, with 30 seconds left, I said a very lousy disclaimer and we were off with a little mosey to the War Memorial.

Warm-O-Rama – Circle up!!
SSH x20 in cadence
IST x20
Windmill x10
Merkin x 10

The Thang
Mosey over to the playground for a little “you vs. you” set of:
5 pull-ups
20 Air Squats
5 rounds

Then, we mosey’d over to the far field where we did a AMRAP of the following:
Corner 1 – 15 merkins
Aluminum bench – 25 LBC’s
Corner 2 – 15 Diamond Merkins
Corner 3-15 Wide Merkins
Aluminum Bench – 25 Freddy Mercury’s
Corner 4 – 15 Hand Release Merkins
Repeato until time called at 6:10

Mosey back to the Shovel Flag.
